PCV question

I just installed a PCV I bought from a fellow forum member. I've never had a tuner before. I've got a '12 103 RKC. I downloaded a map suggested by MGS ( I have their slip-ons). Ness Big Sucker. No other engine mods. I removed the XIED's and left the O2 sensors disconnected per instructions. The bike starts and idles just fine. I can't ride it yet; weather stinks.

Here's my question: On the PCV the power light is green when the bike is running. The status light is off, although on start-up the status lights flashes red/green/red (or something like that) then it goes off. Is this normal? Everything seems fine, but I just want to be sure. If there was a problem with the PCV, I assume the bike would start and run like crap especially with the O2 sensors disconnected.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

02 sensors!!!

Did you get the 02 sensor plug in resistors that go w/ the PC-V ...the blinking lights may mean that there is an open loop in the 02 sensors .. you can't run it w/ the sensor wires unplugged .... ..What you really need to do is get the auto-tune unit for your model that goes what the PC-V... you will be able to set the AFR to what you what and will run very well .

AutoTune sounds good. Maybe when funds are available!

What you are describing is normal operation, however for example if the status light is blinking red when the bike is running there is an error that can be retrieved and viewed with the PC-V software

Thanks Jamie! Appreciate you chiming in, even for someone who isn't your customer, yet. That will probably change when I'm ready for the Auto-Tune. I've never seen a person/company more highly recommended than yours.
